How often do you really have a shared file among users?
As an overall percentage of email?
As a percentage of email with attachments?
Tons... we have people who send the same 25MB file to different people,
over a period of weeks, sometimes months... which makes x copies in
their Sent folder, and x copies in the folder of the local recipient who
was copied on it 'just fyi'...
Then we have idiots that want to send 25MB attachments to our internal
lists - ie, to all 50 employees, who will then proceed to forward it to
clients of theirs - so again, we have many duplicates in x employees'
sent folders (for every time they forwarded it)...
Multiply this out, and you'll see what I'm getting at.
The vast majority of mail storage is for binary attachments, not the few
sentences of text in the body.
Typically, when you have email sent to multiple recipients (Joe &
Charlie) then isn't the email content actually stored once in the DB and
shared between the two users?
Currently, the only mail stores that I know of that accomplish this is
Cyrus-imap (which I've been considering) and Exchange Server (which I
wouldn't touch unless I was directly ordered to by the boss), but there
may be others...
The fact that DBMail does NOT currently do this is the entire point of
this thread...
